Abstract

Provided are a computer program product, integrated cache manager, and method for maintaining data in a first level memory and buckets representing regions of memory devices to extend data cache. A plurality of buckets represent distinct regions of memory devices. The buckets are associated with different threshold access count ranges. Data having an access count is stored in one of the buckets associated with a threshold access count range including the access count of the data to store. Data evicted from a first level memory is copied to an initial bucket comprising one of the buckets. Data is moved from a source bucket comprising one of the buckets, including the initial bucket, to a target bucket of the buckets having a target threshold access count range including an access count of the data to move.
